Someone beautifully expressed the importance and significance of time management in this quote, “Three things you cannot recover in life: the WORD after it said, the MOMENT after its missed, and the TIME after its gone.” Time is very precious and crucial for human beings. Money can be earned again by hard work and dedication but time cannot be gained. Once the minute is gone, it vanishes forever, no matter how hard one try it cannot be attained. Time is the most precious asset in the world, not gold, not diamond, not even British Crown Jewels. Management of time is the thing in which people fail all the time and could not cope with it accordingly.

To learn time management I applied the Pomodoro principle in four of my task which I competed in a short period. They are Completion of online course 2 from AMAL project work no 4, reviewed some of the chemical engineering concepts and principles, humanely arranging my room and cupboard, servicing and cleaning my car and treadmill inside out.

I have also arranged some treats for myself after every 45 minutes in between these tasks to energize and to create enthusiasm in my heart for these workloads. I bought some chocolates, fruits and a drinking buddy, coffee. These exercises were not very difficult for me but a sense of mood and heart stopped me from doing this. This experience of the Pomodoro technique was very exciting and intriguing for me. I think when a reward is assigned on completion of work, the individual doing it will do it with more dedication because of greed for the award.

This activity really helped me fulfill my work. First of all, the breaks in between create a physical and mental relaxation, a time of thinking ids formed which greatly enhance the idea or anything one is working. This plan of action helped me to learn a lot of things and my aim is to apply these things further in my life. I can improve it by complying with this technique more efficiently and strictly. One thing a person needs to do is put your heart and firm determination by following time table. If one wasting more time in breaks or treats rather than working, it is of no use.

“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work in hand. The Sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” by Alexander Graham Bell.

Thank You!
